Monaco's streets hosts the best known Formula 1 Grand Prix and as well as
a sporting spectacle it is one of Europe's premier social highlights of the year,
with the best yachts in the world visiting the Principality and celebrities staying
in the Monaco hotels such as the Hotel de Paris, the Columbus and the Grand,
with many others staying in Nice.(...) The Grand Prix is 77 laps around the narrow,
winding streets of Monte Carlo, making the Monaco Grand Prix the most exciting
in the world, with little room for driver error.

Prior to the Grand Prix the annual charity soccer match has taken place:

Prince Albert II of Monaco during a charity match between Prince Albert's
team and the "National Team F1 drivers" for the benefit of the "Association
Mondiale des Amis de l'Enfance" (Protection of Children Association), on May
19, 2009, at the Louis II Stadium, in Monaco.

looks like a great time was being had by all in the pics they turned out mah-velous!!! the children looked as adorable as the guys all dressed up!! PA is obviously a great athlete and it's great that the still has his fondness for soccer, it appears he's really good at it. stephanies pics turned out great too great outfit!!!

I'm gonna feel sooooo disappointed if the Casiraghis won't attend the Grand Prix!!! And what about P. Caroline? Will she be there? Will she wear a nice outfit? Will she do her best to look great? Oh my God...

it will be nice if the boys go however, in their age they are at, they tend to like to be more into peer activities however, PA and Stephanie and Caroline & ernest if one of them or all of them go it makes it a special event too.

Yesterday morning, 20,000 people arrived by the train from Nice, mainly for the Grand Prix.......the travellers can hear the "vroom" of the racing cars..... there is heightened security.... travelling without ticket costs you 35 euro......
